I was a little nervous about this item as it seems to be very bulky in the photo, but not to worry, the standard LCD monitor it was to support actually had a base almost the same size as the surface area of the riser. The riser works in two ways, as illustrated in the image, or turn it completeley around and the third leg stops anything sliding underneath from the front, and provides twin stable legs at the back, which was very handy as I had to push the stand slightly over the edge of the (wall backed) desk so Mister Fussy could have the exact space he needed on his desk.
It is stable, chunky and looks as though it is perfectly capable of lasting at least as long as any monitor, if not longer, and its silver and black design pretty much blends in with everything.
And several days later, I am pleased to announce that it is easily dustable too! And no more moaning husband complaining about neck strain!
